Oratto understands how overwhelming it can be to deal with a loved one’s estate while grieving.

That's why our website contains a wealth of free useful information on the probate process, including a helpful guide – 'What to do when someone dies' – which explains, in plain English, the practical steps to take in the event of the death of a loved one or relative. We provide services to people across England and Wales.
